Is it normal i am considering stealing from my job?

Update, Ive decided to just let it go and not bother stealing. Ive not been a criminal in my life so I guess I shouldn't start now. I will look for another job but till I find one I will let them know Im not happy about my lack of promised raise. Thanks for everyones advice.

If you want a raise, go talk to the boss. Step up. Show courage, leadership and initiative. That will get you the raise. If you really are that good, you deserve it. But, hiding and stealing is very cowardly. "Oh, they will pay for not giving me that raise. I will steal a dollar every day!"
I have no respect for cowardly thieves! I hate thieves in general, but that's different.

Now, if you plan on ripping someone off (at work) to get money, that's different. Go for it! Ripping people off and getting paid for it... One of capitalism's perks XD

Whatever you feel is right.

Stupid.

I suppose the whole world does revolve around you, but have you stopped to consider that with the world economy as it is today, perhaps promises made a year ago could be impossible to keep now? Alternately, perhaps you haven't been the model employee you think you have been, and this post may be indicative of that.
And just a head's up, "wouldn't do it if I thought I'd get caught", you just don't sound smart enough to do this without getting caught, so perhaps the quote below is something you might want to consider; “The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.” - Oscar Wilde

It's normal to *feel* like you need to get back, but that won't solve the problem and you'll just risk getting fired or even getting a criminal record.

Have you talked to your boss about this promised raise? Just ask why you haven't gotten it and what you could do to get it.

Chances are, with this attitude you have right now, you're only making things worse, productivity-wise.

Look at it from their point of view. Yeah, it's extremely frustrating, but it's absolutely possible that they simply can't afford it. If they can afford it but choose not to - Honestly, are you, as an employee expendable? Are your skills valuable enough that you couldn't easily be replaced? If not, realize that it's very difficult to run a profitable business. In the end, they are their own priority, as you are your own (as is incredibly obvious from your post).

The difference though is that what they did was legal. You were never guaranteed a raise, and to be absolutely sure you were going to get one was silly.
On the other hand, stealing is not legal.

Anyways, do you honestly think they won't notice if they're suddenly making smaller profits because you're stealing, for example, a dollar an hour? They'll get suspicious of all their employees when they realize they're losing money. Maybe you can get away with it, but what IF they find out? Good luck living that down.

do you have it in writing that your supposed to get an annual raise? i wouldn't risk getting caught better to have a shitty job then no job at all or worse you could get your ass tossed in jail for stealing they might already know your doing it and just waiting for you to rack up a felony amount of stolen stuff before they bring it up some places are real shady like that watch yourself

The best thing you can do is, talk to your manager. Tell him/her that you are expecting your promised raise. If that doesn't work and you are really that unhappy, start looking for another job. When you get another job, give your two weeks notice.

Otherwise, you'll just have to deal with your job as is. Only do what's in your job description and don't even bother helping anyone out and covering their shifts. Why bother helping them out when they can't even keep their promise??

Whatever you do, don't steal. STEALING IS A NEVER A GOOD IDEA. I won't tell you any stories, but I've seen it backfire on a handful of people.
